Sunday, October 29. Traditions online worship service.
As we finish the book of Genesis this week, we turn to the story of Joseph (Genesis 37-50.) Joseph was a great-grandson of Abraham and Sarah and one of the 12 sons of Jacob/Israel. He was favored by his father, Jacob, but his other brothers were jealous of him, conspired to kill him, and ended up selling him into slavery. Still, throughout difficult and complicated circumstances, a common thread weaving Joseph’s story together is that “The Lord was with Joseph.” (39:2). Sometimes it is in the most complex situations that we experience more intimacy with God. As we prepare for worship this week consider: What circumstances hinder your sense that God is with you? What helps you be more aware of and realize God’s presence?
Genesis 37:1-4, 50:15-26
